Serarif

Yet another web font (not sure if it is looks good or bad)

Working with the font

I used Inkscape to create glyphs and FontForge to combine all SVG files into .sfd file. Both of them should works on all 3 desktop platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac). However, you only need FontForge to edit the font.

Directories structure:

• docs/: Documentations
• svgs/: Inkscape files (or SVGs)
  • Latin/: Latin characters (A, b, c, etc.)
  • Symbols/: Regular symbols like !@#$%^& and more
  • Regional/: Characters based on region (Eg: Regional/Asia/Chinese)

Generating font

You can generate the font in 2 ways:

1. Using FontForge GUI

Open the Serarif.sfd in FontForge, then click File > Generate Fonts. Choose the destination, then click Generate.

If you use TrueType, you might get a message related to EM size (where it must be the power of 2). You can safety ignore that for now

2. Using FontForge CLI

In some cases where you can't access to display device (let's say you're running on Linux without X11 server), you can use FontForge CLI to generate it:

fontforge -c 'Open($1); Generate($2)' Serarif.sfd Serarif.ttf
